Welcome Kelly.  Enjoy your TM!

[kelinoz]

Is there a place on here to share our photos? After all... We eat with our eyes 😀

[goldfish]

We add our photos to whatever thread we're contributing to, Kelly... Are those your efforts?? They look wonderful

[judydawn]

Great pics Kelly.  If we do a recipe from the forum we add a photo and review under the recipe.  If we do a recipe from one of the many TMX books, we have a special review section for those recipes so your photo would go along with the review, in the What's for dinner or lunch or What are you Cooking threads, same thing applies.  You will find photos everywhere on here so I look forward to seeing many more of yours - if anything is going to sell a recipe, it is a photo.

Welcome kelinoz. Haha GF you're funny I could get a big head if I wanted to believe everything I read

 :)Welcome L plater, I suppose I would be classified as having my P's and I'm sure it won't take you long either. Your journey will be fun with possibly a few 'pot holes' along the way, Mine was mashed potato, more like glue, but that is part of the learning curve. How cute are your babies!!

[kelinoz]

Thanks Kookla... Haha... Yes I have already made 'glue'... What's your secret? ... My guess was over stirring?

I find potato is best cooked in the steaming basket then mashed in the bowl with the butterfly at speed 3 for about 10 sec to start with girls. I add butter and S & P then a small amount of milk after the 10 seconds and mix again for a few more seconds. I find some types of potatoes  need no milk but none of them need a whole lot. Glue potatoes are usually beaten too long. Everyone has their favourite method though so it's up to you to work out what suits you best.

I followed the recipe in the EDC the first time, cooking the potatoes in the milk-disaster! Next I tried steaming  them in the varoma basket, took way too long, ended up throwing them in a saucepan to finish as the rest of the meal was ready. Maybe I didn't have the temp high enough at 100 degrees and pieces too large? I now make them the 'old fashioned' way,at least I know they will turn out right. Maybe I will give it another go sometime when I have some rice in the fridge to fall back on.

Kookla,, you need to use the varoma temperature to steam vegies.

Hello an welcome Kellie.
Your girls are gorgeous and your thermomixing efforts look great!! 
I have a 2.5yr old too, but thankfully so far she has not been fussy, I put it down to her always having had 'proper' food as I got the TM when she was a bub. 

We love TM mashed potato here, took a bit of trial and error but now would not do it any other way!

Thanks for the tips Judy, I will be sure to give potatoes another go.

Hi and welcome to the Forum Kelinoz.  I think most of us have made glue at least once.  I too just steam mine in the basket now. Add butter and a little (if any) milk.  Love your photos and your little angels in the Avator.
